This report, based on 2000 National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS) data, presents prevalence estimates for current use of smokeless tobacco, cigars, bidis, kreteks, and pipes among youth in the United States. It also highlights the strong relationship between smoking and use of other tobacco products. The NYTS is the only national youth survey to monitor use of this wide variety of "other" tobacco products. Over 35,000 youth participated in the 2000 survey, which provides nationally representative estimates for African-American, Hispanic, and Asian-American as well as non-Latino White youth.
